Chapter 312: Dark Demon Is a Little Sun (4k)
It was the evening of Valentine’s Day.
The students were at their peak in yearning for a beautiful love story.
Thus, as he wrote, emotions naturally flowed through his mana and onto the tip of the pen.
“True feelings,” in essence, were a broad concept.
They didn’t necessarily need an object.
Even just the thought of “wanting something” was enough.
However, at this moment and in this atmosphere, Professor Metia’s words inevitably led to some misunderstandings.
Students began to rack their brains, wondering who they liked.
As Dak sketched the magic circle, he found himself becoming the center of everyone’s attention without realizing it.
If counted by the number of chocolates received today, this attention was excessive…
But upon careful reflection, it might be due to comparison.
After all, Dak Diemon was like a little sun.
…
Professor Metia observed the students’ every move from the podium, her gaze occasionally passing over some individuals.
Finally, she approached Eudora and lightly tapped the desk.
“Bang!”
Eudora jumped, looking up to see Professor Metia smiling slyly.
She couldn’t help but open her mouth; her cheeks flushed with red.
“Don’t get too engrossed,” Professor Metia reminded.
Eudora lowered her head and said, “Yes, teacher.”
Then, she immediately began sketching the magic circle.
…
Professor Metia continued forward, patting Lil’Eevee’s head when she reached the last row, and looked at the crooked magic circle under its paws, suppressing a smile.
She glanced at Dak and turned lightly, moving to the other side of the last row.
Wit and Robert were also sketching magic circles.
Robert’s mind was filled with images of mana chess, while Wit was thinking about peaches.
Upon noticing Professor Metia approaching, they quickly stopped their illusions and started sketching.
Metia naturally lingered beside them for a while before returning to the podium.
…
The students hesitated but eventually picked up their pens.
Regardless of whether their feelings were sincere, they had to draw what was required.
As one “Love Spell Array” after another was completed, pink threads slowly descended from the large rotating magic circle above the ceiling, like rain filling the classroom.
Curious, the students reached out to touch them.
But their fingers passed through without feeling anything.
Finally, someone raised their hand to ask.
Professor Metia then explained with a smile, “This is a form of astrology. You can imagine it as a night sky, and your magic circle as stars. When the stars merge into the night sky, it becomes the starry sky.”
The students nodded, somewhat understanding.
Professor Metia then raised her wand, pointing it at the ceiling’s magic circle, causing it to accelerate.
Gradually, no one could see the circuitry within the diagram.
Looking up, they saw only a swirling galaxy overhead.
The threads gradually became transparent, turning into stars that adorned the swirling galaxy.
This transformation left the students breathless.
…
Dak tried to sense the magic circle through reverse induction on paper but could only feel the运转 of mana within the swirling galaxy due to his lack of divination talent.
He turned his gaze toward Lil’Eevee.
Lil’Eevee was squatting on the desk, holding the crooked magic circle drawing, and staring up at the starry sky.
Because there were no threads falling over its head…
Unable to bear it any longer, Dak decided to teach the golems how to perceive and control mana.
…
At this moment, Professor Metia’s voice echoed, “In astrology, love divination is connected to the moon, with the moon as the center, revealing secrets through the movement of stars.”
She closed her eyes, then opened them again, revealing silver moons!
With the aid of the Starry Eye, Professor Metia’s astrology greatly improved.
But she certainly wouldn’t perform a true divination for just one class.
Astrology has many techniques that don’t reveal the future but seem close.
Professor Metia used one such technique.
This astronomy class aimed to deepen the students’ understanding of astrology, ideally through personal experience.
Valentine’s Day love divination was a perfect starting point.
She would guide the students’ mana through the “Love Spell Array,” driving a small-scale group astrology.
So far, Saint Maryann Academy’s students showed decent mana skills, with none falling behind.
…
As the starry vortex above the ceiling continued to rotate, some students saw something, while others remained puzzled.
But the vortex was indeed captivating, endlessly fascinating.
Minutes later, the vortex slowed down, and beams of starlight shot down, accurately landing on each “Love Spell Array.”
Professor Metia said, “Observe carefully. If you’re lucky, you’ll see your future partner in these arrays.”
The classroom atmosphere became lively.
The charm of divination was evident.
No one wanted to know their future ahead of time.
Though sometimes knowing the future wasn’t always a good thing.
But at that moment, no one thought deeply.
Almost all students focused on the starlight shining on the “Love Spell Arrays” when Professor Metia announced.
…
“Peep peep?”
Eevee looked at the dreamy starlight, raising its homework paper to catch it.
Unfortunately, the nearest beam of light didn’t turn toward it.
Instead, it fell directly onto Dak’s “Love Spell Array.”
Eevee turned to look at the paper with the drawn magic circle, its face showing disappointment.
Meanwhile, Dak, following Professor Metia’s guidance, carefully observed the starlight shining on the “Love Spell Array.”
A misty fog rose from the array, seemingly revealing vague figures.
Dak pondered, suddenly feeling familiar.
Yet, he couldn’t recall exactly why it felt familiar.
He couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression.
…
As astrology continued running, mist rose from all the magic circles on the students’ desks.
The classroom seemed enveloped in smoke.
The students stared intently, trying to discern something from the mist.
In their gaze, the mist swirled, revealing human figures.
At this moment, Metia closed her eyes.
Then, a silver moon hung upside down from the starry vortex, waxing and waning.
Two eyes opened behind the silver moon, overlooking the entire classroom.
Every student’s expression, every change in the magic circles, every swirl of mist, were all visible to her.
…
“It’s here!”
Among the students,
Yudora’s divination talent was undoubtedly the highest.
She clasped her hands over her heart, nervously watching the mist, praying that the person indicated by the mist would be the one she desired.
Her eyes glowed with stars, and the mist shifted with her thoughts.
Gradually, the hidden figure in the mist surfaced.
Her eyes grew brighter.
On the podium, Metia couldn’t help but sigh. Yudora’s longing was clearly etched on her face.
Even without divination, she could tell that Yudora’s path ahead was not easy.
What awaited her might be a more severe future than she imagined.
But it seemed everything was predetermined when they met.
Just like the fate that seers most believed in.
Yudora was born a seer, with a natural obsession with destiny.
In her thoughts,
Metia did not withdraw her gaze.
Her Starry Eye allowed her to see things others couldn’t.
The mist before Yudora displayed the image of a golden-haired youth as expected.
He was handsome as if from a fairy tale.
The prince girls often fantasized about while reading bedtime stories.
Dak Diemon, the child of the stars.
…
“Woof!”
Yudora covered her mouth, her cheeks visibly reddening, her body trembling slightly with excitement.
Although she had a basic understanding of divination after studying under Metia, knowing that the “divination” in front of her was not real, she still felt genuinely happy.
Dak’s overt rejection once left her confused.
Difficult arithmetic assignments were a blow to her, wanting to excel.
The impact of her family environment made her less confident in herself.
Therefore, she needed some affirmation to walk her path more confidently.
This “love divination” perfectly fulfilled this need.
…
“Yudora, what did you see?”
Yudora’s female classmate, seeing her excited reaction, couldn’t help but ask curiously.
From her perspective, although she could see the human figure emerging from the mist, she couldn’t clearly make out the face.
She knew that Yudora truly saw her future partner.
But Yudora was immersed in happiness, unable to hear external sounds.
…
Soon after,
Sarah Swati, who also had divination talent, saw the figure emerge from the mist.
Unlike Yudora, she was only slightly surprised, barely tilting her lips.
When her classmate Heidi asked, she smirked and said, “Guess.”
Heidi immediately scowled, reaching for her armpit, “Not even a prophet yet, and already picking up the habits? Say it, say it?”
Sarah’s amber eyes flashed slightly, smiling, “How about we wait until you see it too, shall we?”
“You wait for me!” Heidi withdrew her hand, rolling up her sleeves, ready to tackle it head-on, like she was confronting a personal vendetta, staring intensely at the mist before her.
…
Following closely,
Emma Maltis also reacted to the mist.
Her expression was serious as she watched the changes in the mist.
As the figure in the mist became clearer, an unexpected person appeared in her vision.
Her classmates Susan and Lucy leaned in, but saw nothing.
…
Simultaneously,
Rose also saw her future partner from the mist.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, her hands clenching involuntarily.
…
Observing the entire classroom from an omniscient perspective, Metia couldn’t help but feel astonished.
These talented girls had seen the same person in the mist!
“Is this good or bad?”
“What kind of charm does Dak Diemon have to attract so many outstanding girls at age twelve?”
Professor Metia herself was a lifelong singleton, never having a crush on any boy since her student days.
Some said she was too proud, but she believed it was because the right timing hadn’t come.
Once, frustrated by people’s comments, she actively sought out her fate.
She traveled as a seer, meeting numerous heroes, including Magus Peter Sherwich and the Hero Black Gold.
But none of them sparked attraction in her.
She gradually realized that perhaps her standards were too high.
The current situation made her glance at Dak’s back, sighing, “Pity he’s only twelve.”
Even if she craved more, she couldn’t find charm in a twelve-year-old boy.
Too much exposure could blind her.
She glanced away, not daring to continue looking.
…
As the students with divination talents succeeded one by one, others began to see their partners in the mist.
Some were delighted, others surprised.
If the person seen in the mist was someone in the same classroom,
They couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.
As more and more students reacted, the classroom atmosphere changed.
Professor Metia on the podium couldn’t help but open her eyes, but the “eye” on the ceiling remained open.
She observed the classroom with two perspectives, feeling unprecedented surprise.
Only she could see the manifestation of the mist for everyone!
This truly exceeded her imagination.
It made her feel directly that “astrology” had gone wrong!
…
At this moment…
Dak Diemon finally saw the figure emerge from the swirling mist.
During this process, he finally realized where the familiar feeling came from.
This notion of seeing the future partner from the mist reminded him of the popular “love divination cards,” or “Flower Cards” from last semester!
Both were love divinations.
Both revealed the other half.
The truth behind “Flower Cards” was reading minds through mana.
How about this mist?
Recalling Professor Metia’s words about “infusing the most sincere feelings into the magic pen,” Dak had an epiphany.
Therefore, he believed that what he would see from the mist should be what he wanted to see, which was Senior Pandora!
However…
What actually emerged from the mist was not the black-haired, dark-eyed Pandora, but a blonde-haired, blue-eyed… boy?
-Dak Diemon saw himself!
…
“What the heck, my other half is myself?”
“Legendary self-love?”
“Peep peep!”
Lil’Eevee called twice, following the atmosphere, though it couldn’t see what Dak saw.
Dak, in shock, lifted his head and suddenly noticed that he had become the focal point of the entire classroom again!
Almost all the students—especially the girls—were staring at him!
And extremely noticeably.
The girls’ gazes now were vastly different from those earlier.
“What’s going on?”
Dak couldn’t help but look towards Professor Metia on the podium.
He faintly felt that
What was happening in this classroom was definitely not normal.
“Aah!”
A sudden scream pulled Dak back to reality.
He turned around swiftly to see Robert, pale-faced, with mist surging outward like a tide, covering the entire table!
…
What else did he see?
…
